Chapter 921: Buy It!
In addition to Park Min-ah, Taeyeon, Yoo-ri and others don't know much about Park Ji-hoon's career. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's not that they don't want to understand, but Park Ji-hoon's career is developing too fast, and there are often unexpected surprises, and most of his career is abroad, so they have no way of understanding it.
I've always been curious about Park Ji-hoon's career.
At this moment, seeing the number "67 million", seeing that Park Ji-hoon did not mean to shy away, he couldn't help but ask in unison.
"Yes. After Park Ji-hoon replied to Ji Sang-hyuk, he explained to several people: "An offer to buy a mobile game." ”
"So expensive?" Taeyeon and Seo Hyun hadn't said yet, but Tiffany in the back asked softly.
Games such as "Wisdom Dragon Maze" and "ClashofClans" are exceptions after all, and when it comes to mobile games, many people still have the impression that they are small and simple. At least, in Tiffany's opinion, the $67 million acquisition of a mobile game is unimaginable!
"This is just our offer, and the other party may not agree to it!" Park Ji-hoon said with a smile.
"Huh?" Tiffany stuck out her tongue.
"What kind of mobile game, are the results good?" asked Xu Xian seriously.
"On the Japanese side, a mobile game that hasn't been officially released yet. Park Ji-hoon replied.
At this time, Taeyeon and Seo Hyun were also stunned for a moment.
A mobile game that has not yet been officially released, and a price of $67 million is given, isn't he afraid of failure?
"Hehe......" Park Ji-hoon chuckled, not ready to explain anything.
"Smack!" Unexpectedly, Taeyeon suddenly slapped his inner thigh and said dissatisfiedly, "I want to perfunctory again!"
Already a repeat offender!
Shoot the inner thighs because it feels the best, the sound is the loudest, and the effect is the best.
Sure enough, Park Ji-hoon immediately grinned.
Xu Xian also pouted slightly. I wanted to express my dissatisfaction, but when I saw the position where Taeyeon was shooting, I was slightly stunned and bit my lip gently.
The two have ......
"It's still a little virtuous and gentle. At this time, Park Ji-hoon suddenly leaned to the side and pressed against her body. Said half-coquettishly.
"Xiao Xianxian?"
Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Kim Ha-yeon only felt a numb scalp and an urge to plug their ears.
As for Xu Xian, when he heard his title of being extremely numb, goosebumps came out and the roots of his teeth were faintly sour. Even, the brain crashed for that 0.1 seconds!
In my head, I was completely occupied by this title, and everything else was banished!
"Is Oppa trying to numb me to death?" Tiffany leaned over to Park Ji-hoon's ear and shouted.
"oppa!" Seo Hyun also reacted, and slapped Park Ji-hoon with a red face.
Taeyeon glanced at Park Ji-hoon and didn't say anything. There was no angry expression on his face either.
"Ahem!" Park Ji-hoon sat up straight, coughed lightly, and said, "Just kidding, I'll just say it." ”
It's been more than a year since the release of "Dragon Maze", and despite its remarkable achievements, as a studio, relying only on one game is obviously an abnormal development. Moreover. Even if "The Lost City of the Dragon" can be popular for two years, three years, four years, five years?
Ji Sang-hyuk and others also understand this. So after "Wisdom Dragon Maze" was on the right track, a new game was planned in March this year.
However, Cheng Ye "Wisdom Dragon Maze" and defeat also "Wisdom Dragon Maze"!
Maybe the inspiration ran out on the game "Wisdom Dragon Maze", or because the mood was too high, the studio's second work was difficult to deliver!
During this period, a lot of proposals were submitted, and a few were made into games. But none of the games are satisfying. After each game is initially completed, it will be submitted to other team members to try it out.
It may not be possible to make a game like "Dragon's Maze" again, but the vision has not regressed, and it is even more accurate than before.
So, until now, no second work has come out.
At the beginning, he promised Park Ji-hoon that he would make a second game in August. As a result, the pigeons were released, and Ji Sang-hyuk had to cheekily tell him to postpone it for a few months.
However, he and Ji Sang-hyuk and others are standing in different positions, so they naturally look at problems from different angles.
"If you can't do it for a while, then buy it!" After understanding the reason, he said directly to Ji Sang-hyuk.
It's like Colopl's Black Cat Wiz bought 31% of Colopl's shares after it came out, and a week after the release of Machinezone's War Games: The Age of Fire, he bought 51% of MachineZone's shares for $79 million - before that, MachineZone's two rounds of funding totaled $13.3 million.
He believes in his own vision and that of his team, and is decisive and daring to make a move!
In the field of mobile games, inspiration and luck play a very important role. Since you can't make a game that you are satisfied with for a while, aim for a new game with potential in the market and buy it and become your own!
He is not a game developer, he has never even seriously run a studio, and he will not be limited to game innovation, inspiration, etc., like Ji Sang-hyuk and others. What he thinks is that by giving full play to his own advantages, having experience, vision, and abundant funds, he can buy a new game with potential, which can not only enrich his own strength, but also eliminate competitors in the bud.
Look at it this way, who is stupid enough to sell the game to them!
However, who dares to guarantee that a game will succeed? In the mobile game industry, I don't know how many new games are born every year and disappear in obscurity, and there are many tepid games that cannot recover their costs! In Japan, there are many mobile game studios that can barely make ends meet.
Someone is willing to spend a lot of money to buy out, and they don't have to take the risk, why not?
Ji Sang-hyuk and others stumbled upon a new game that was still being tested, and after a few contacts, began to try the offer.
The first offer was $30 million, which was rejected, and the second offer, $39 million, was rejected again...... $67 million, the fifth offer, but not just to buy the game, but also with several major producers.
Park Ji-hoon also watched the game and listened to the comments of Ji Sang-hyuk and others about the game. It is the leader of this acquisition. Therefore, Ji Sanghyuk and others informed him after discussing the final offer.
It is impossible to keep raising the price, so that the other party's appetite will also be raised, and the fifth time is already the bottom limit. If the other party still does not agree, then you can only find another goal.
Park Ji-hoon finished speaking. The group also returned to the villa.
"How long will this take to be renovated?" asked Tiffany as she glanced at the already renovated mansion next to her, as if she couldn't wait.
Half a football field in size, plus the villa side, I am looking forward to the new home after completion.
"Half a year is the fastest. Park Ji-hoon got out of the car and said.
As early as the beginning of the year, he had hired an architect to design the plan, which has saved a lot of time.
"Ahh
"Is it really okay to buy the game at such a high price before it has been released?" Taeyeon after getting out of the car. In the end, I couldn't help but ask.
She doesn't know the game, and she can't even hear about that game, she is afraid that Park Ji-hoon will inflate himself.
Many artists have inflated themselves greatly after becoming famous, let alone with Park Ji-hoon's current achievements? It is not only arrogant and arrogant that is self-aggrandizement, people like Park Ji-hoon who always have a gentle and indifferent face and imprint pride in their bones are even more worrying when they inflate themselves.
"It's okay, it's not my decision alone. It was a collective decision made by the Japanese team. Park Ji-hoon said with a smile.
Taeyeon said no more.
The group walked through the secluded courtyard and into the living room.
"Wow. You two don't even know how to call me when you're drinking!" As soon as she entered the living room, Tiffany saw Park Min-ah and Yori leisurely watching TV, drinking champagne, eating seafood plates, and salads, and immediately trotted forward and shouted.
She likes to drink champagne and red wine the most!
Seafood such as fresh shellfish, sea snails, caviar, sashimi, and wine is the Chardonnay series of spade A champagne.
"It's not too late!" said Yuli. Exhale like an orchid.
"Brother, Sister Pani, Sister Taeyeon, Sister Seohyun, and Little Ha-yeon. Park Min-ah and Park Ji-hoon greeted each other and greeted them together.
"How did you drink champagne?" Taeyeon asked curiously.
"I want to drink it. Yoo Lee replied after glancing at Park Ji-hoon's face in surprise.
Actually with Taeyeon and Seo Hyun?
"Okay. Taeyeon was speechless, this reason was strong enough.
"Do you want to drink some of it?" After the group sat down, Park Ji-hoon asked Kim Xia-yeon with a little bewilderment.
Tiffany had already trotted over with a wine glass.
"Drink as much as you want. Taeyeon gave Park Ji-hoon a blank look. But he also said to his sister, "Sweet and sour, fresh and refreshing, very delicious." ”
"Especially with seafood and fresh salads, it's an invincible pairing!" added Tiffany, who poured half a glass for Kim.
The silver bottle is very beautiful.
Kim Ha-yeon did not refuse.
"Uh-huh" Tiffany poured a glass for everyone, and finally it was her turn, and she raised her glass and took a sip and groaned softly.
Jin Xiayan also took a small sip.
True, sweet and slightly sour, fresh and refreshing.
"It's better with seafood and salads, and Pani is right, she's a little glutton. Park Ji-hoon said to her with a smile.
"Hmm. Jin Xiayan nodded shyly.
Tiffany glanced at Park Ji-hoon, and for the sake of wine and food, she didn't care about him.
It's not the first time Taeyeon and Seo Hyun have drunk this kind of wine.
"Is there any cooperation between OPPA and those two?" asked Yu Li curiously to Park Ji-hoon.
The Internet is full of Park Ji-hoon, Lee Hae-jin, and Kim Beom-so watching a baseball game together, but who would believe that these three people get together just to watch a baseball game?
In addition, it is a baseball game of the LG Twins, which are not very popular.
"Not yet. Park Ji-hoon said with a smile, "Just thank you President Lee Hae-jin." ”
"It's obvious that OPPA pulled people into the water!" said Yuli, wrinkling her nose slightly.
"That's it!" Tiffany immediately chimed in.
"So what's the matter?" Park Ji-hoon asked rhetorically.
Yuli and Tiffany are speechless.
"There won't be any more problems, right?" asked Xu Xian with concern.
In the past few days, the Internet has been boiling, all of which are reports from Park Ji-hoon and Lee Hae-jin. Especially for Park Ji-hoon, there are many voices calling for boycott, and many of them have dissipated today.
"Hmm. Park Ji-hoon nodded.
Lee Hae-jin has promised to help with all his might, and he is working hard himself. The voice that could not stand up in the first place naturally could no longer set off any storms.
"That's good. Xu Xian also nodded slightly and took a sip of champagne.
The taste is even sweeter.
Park Ji-hoon doesn't seem to have any plans to go to work today, so he has been staying in the living room with a few people.
Talking and laughing, the mind is comfortable and pure.
Taeyeon couldn't drink enough, so she and Kim Ha-yeon each drank half a glass.
Seo Hyun and Park Ji-hoon didn't drink much. Most of it went into Tiffany's mouth.
At half past 22, they went upstairs and prepared to wash and rest.
Taeyeon, Kim Ha-yeon, and Park Ji-hoon stayed in the living room.
"Does Xiao Xiayan want to be a singer or an actor?" After Park Minya and the others left, Park Ji-hoon suddenly asked Kim Xia-yeon.
Although he can arrange a better job for Kim Ha-yeon in the future, many girls have star dreams.
"Huh?" Kim Ha-yeon was stunned and looked at Taeyeon.
"Just ask you, and just answer. Taeyeon nodded.
"But I don't know how to act. Under the gaze of the two, Jin Xiayan hesitated for a moment before replying with a slight blush.
The implication. It's already very obvious.
"It's okay, learn as you practice. Park Ji-hoon immediately said, "Those well-known actresses, there are few good acting skills!"
The Korean entertainment industry is like this, there are many actors with better acting skills than Zhang Dongjian, but he is the most famous.
"Just listen to him. Taeyeon said.
This is not a trivial matter, it involves her sister's future life, so she took the initiative to mention it to Park Ji-hoon.
to yourself. Never ask for anything.
"I'll find someone to teach you acting, and I'll learn it for a while. Park Ji-hoon said.
"Hmm. Thank you oppa. Jin Xiayan nodded obediently and thanked her.
"Alright, I'll take her to bed first!" Taeyeon said, getting up.
After seeing the two leave, Park Ji-hoon continued to stay in the living room, in a trance.
Ten minutes later, Taeyeon returned to the living room.
Changed into a nightdress, up to the knees.
"Don't dress like this outside!" Park Ji-hoon said at first sight of her. "It's short-legged. ”
"Hmph!" Taeyeon glared at Park Ji-hoon angrily.
Park Ji-hoon smiled, took two steps forward, hugged her into his arms, and gently stroked her head with one hand.
"It was Pani who persuaded Xiaoxian to come along, not me. Taeyeon smelled the familiarity. His mind gradually calmed down, but his mouth "explained".
Park Ji-hoon didn't speak, just hugged her quietly.
"Okay, they'll come down and see it in a moment. After a while, Taeyeon gently nudged Park Ji-hoon and said.
Only then did Park Ji-hoon let her go.
"How's the website going?" Taeyeon asked softly as she pulled Park Ji-hoon to sit down.
The relationship between the two has passed the stage of "love words", and life and work are the theme.
Park Ji-hoon answered them one by one.
After chatting like this for more than ten minutes, it was estimated that Kim Ha-yeon should finish taking a shower, and Taeyeon left.
Park Ji-hoon also washed and went to bed.
There was nothing going on in the past two days, everything was ready, just waiting for September 1st.
The turmoil on the Internet was snuffed out as soon as it emerged, and there was no accident.
......
August 30th.
Japan.
A news that "the studio of "Wisdom Dragon Maze secretly acquired a newly developed mobile game under MIXI" made headlines.
"Dragon Maze Studio" is more famous than the name "Azubugame Japan Branch".
Ji Sang-hyuk and others finally negotiated with MIXI to buy all the copyrights of the mobile game "Monster Marbles" for $67.5 million, as well as more than a dozen producers led by Hiroki Kimura.
Although it was a secret negotiation, the news was finally leaked, attracting the attention of the whole society.
In Japan, the name "Wisdom Dragon Maze" has gone beyond the meaning of ordinary mobile games!
Among young people, there may be people who don't know who the prime minister of Japan is, but no one knows the name "The Lost City of the Dragon"! Even if you don't play it, you have heard of it.
The development studio of "Wisdom Dragon Maze" actually wants to buy a game developed by someone else?
This news has had a big impact on the entire mobile game market.
For a while, many people began to sing about "Wisdom Dragon Maze", and some people even began to predict that "Wisdom Dragon Maze" would be pulled off the altar this year!
"degenerate", "have lost the spirit of innovation", "have no confidence in themselves"...... Countless negative words were added to the heads of Ji Sang-hyuk and others.
Even the players of "Wisdom Dragon Maze" began to waver and panic.
Many people are here for the fame of "dominating the No. 1 mobile game market in Japan for more than a year".
For this reason, Ji Sang-hyuk and others had to hold a press conference.
We have a maintenance team of more than 100 people, and we are always thinking about providing players with better services and more interesting gameplay. ”
"The reason why I bought this mobile game is because I accidentally came into contact with the beta version of this game, and we were deeply impressed by the charm of this mobile game - our test team couldn't help but like this mobile game after playing this mobile game, simple, as a game lover - after communicating with the producer of Kimura Hongyi, we believe that this mobile game will have a bright future, as game lovers, we can't help but buy this favorite mobile game!"
"We believe that Dragon Maze is the best, but we also don't deny the talent of our peers. ”
"It was Chairman Park Ji-hoon's idea. Because after he tried it, he also fell hopelessly in love with the game, and directly ordered us to 'I like this game, buy it'!"
In addition to stabilizing the players of "Wisdom Dragon Maze" and consolidating itself, it is also promoting the upcoming "Monster Marbles".
Inevitably, there are some fictitious and exaggerated words.
For example, in the paragraph of Park Ji-hoon, he only said the second half of "buy it".
But judging by the effect, very good!
"Dragon's Maze" was not affected too much, but the promotion effect of the new game is equivalent to tens of millions of dollars in advertising!
As Park Ji-hoon has embraced, crisis is opportunity.
In the midst of the turmoil in Japan, September 1st was finally ushered in. (To be continued.) )
